    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le développement préimaginal et les taux de survie d'une souche sauvage de D. cucurbitae de Hawaí sur six hôtes courants ont été examinés à 25°C. Ces résultats ont été combinés aux informations récoltées sur la survie des adultes, la fécondité et la fertilité pour réaliser des tables de vie. La durée du stade oeuf est légèrement supérieure à un jour pour cette espèce. La durée de développement de l'éclosion de l'oeuf à l'imago et les taux de survie ont été respectivement de 17 à 20 jours et de 35 à 85% suivant les hôtes. La fécondité brute (ponte totale) a été de 1293 oeufs par femelle, tandis qui ‘la fertilité’ (nombre total d'oeufs fertiles pondéré par les taux d'éclosion et de survie des adultes) était de 518 oeufs fertiles par femelle. Le taux d'accroissement (λ) variait de 1,08 à 1,12 suivant l'hôte sur lequel D. cucurbitae a été élevé. La proportion d'adultes dans une distribution en âge stable était d'environ 14% sur tous les hôtes.
    Notes: Abstract Preadult development and survival rates for a wild strain of melon fly in Hawaii were examined when reared on six common hosts at 25°C. These data were combined with information gathered on adult survival, fecundity and fertility in order to construct life tables. The duration of the egg stage was slightly over 1 day for this species. Depending on host, larval-to-adult development and survival rates were 17–20 days and 35–85%, respectively. Gross fecundity (total eggs) was 1293 eggs/♀ while net fertility (total fertile eggs weighted by hatch and adult survival) was 518 fertile eggs/♀. The finite rate of increase (λ) for the species was conditional on the host on which it was reared and ranged from 1.08 to 1.12. The percent of adults in the stable age distribution averaged around 14% over all hosts.

    Notes: Summary The cerebral blood flow (CBF) of 25 patients with sickle cell cerebrovascular disease (SCCVD) was examined using a Xenon-CT flow mapping method. Brain CT and MR findings were correlated with those of the Xenon-CT flow studies. CBF defects on Xenon-CT correlated reasonably well with the areas of cortical infarctions on the MR images, but in 27% of the cases, flow defects were slightly larger than the areas of infarctions on the MR images. In deep watershed or basal ganglia infarctions, abnormal CBF was noted about the cerebral cortex near infarctions in 72% of the patients, regardless of infarction sizes on the MR images. However, decreased CBF was recognized in 4 of the 9 children whose MR images were virtually normal. Thus, the extent of flow depletion cannot be predicted accurately by MR imaging alone. Xenon-CT flow mapping proved a safe and reliable procedure for evaluation of the CBF of patients with SCCVD. Although this study is preliminary, it may have a potential in selecting patients for hypertransfusion therapy, as a noninvasive test and for following children with SCCVD during their therapy. Careful correlation of results of CBF with those of MR imaging or of CT is important for objective interpretations of flow mapping images.
